There is tremendous interest in Taoism today. References to it appear in everything from art books to philosophy classes. Qigong (chi kung) and Tai Chi are taught at community colleges, and spiritually inclined people are investigating Taoist meditations. Scholars credit Taoism with having had a significant influence on Zen Buddhism (thereby accounting for its difference from Indian Buddhism), Chinese classical poets such as Li Po and Tu Fu are widely acknowledged to have consciously included Taoist themes, and every major building in Chinaeven todayis constructed according to Taoist principles of geomancy.
But if the English-language reader wanted to investigate more about Taoism, they might well be forgiven for thinking that nothing significant had been written since 300 B.C . After all, the Tao Te Ching, I Ching , and Chuang Tzu , so widely translated and popular that they are found in almost every bookstore, were all written in the Zhou dynasty. Other books available are translations of abstruse alchemical texts, scholarly histories, or manuals dealing with narrow subjects such as sexology, exercise, or legends.
